Almost everyone here knows that I teach in the Mecca of Education. Today I was doing some filing work for my department and came across a compete roster of the students who attend our benign institution. I have to share some of the names I encountered. Believe me, folks, I couldn't make this up if I tried!
Caress Smith
Rayon Ashford (Does he have a brother named "Dacron"?)
Rebecca Smelley
Lovely Boyce
Unique Hunter
Jubilant Reid
Essence Smith
Memorial Jordan
Timothy McJunkey
Baby Love Johnson
Prancer Cox
Shirley Du Jour (she's gotta be a stripper outside of school!)
L'Oreal Spooner (named after the hair products?)
Quiana Leak
Lilawatter Rojas
Lake Cosman
Adult Johnson
Victorie Joseph-Davis
I've known a Kandy Kane (who was a child...tell me *she* didn't grow up and head straight for the adult entertainment industry...) and a Rose Budd. But my very favorite name belonged to a guy in my college dorm: Chuck Wagon.
the best i had was purple rain fredericks. when i gave him his first failing grade i told him that this is what it sounds like when doves cry.
wow... Dolly, I haven't laughed so hard all day as I just did reading those. Thank you for that.
Oh......my.......GOSH! Those are too funny. I'm trying to think of any funny names that I've come across...but naturally I can't!

Lmao Dollypop! I knew a woman named Ima Hogg once. And my mother's first serious boyfriend was boyfriend was named Izzy Ronnie (i've heard this got sorta confusing for my mom's friends since my mom's name is Ronnie). I'll try to think of more.....
dollypop, that's not very professional - can't you get in trouble for this?!?

i knew a kid named Mushfickle- thats his FIRST name. I dont even remember the last name anymore but I guess there was some reason for the name!
Papa I loved that. Did his jaw drop open?
I can't believe someone would name their child Adult Johnson.
It's just sick.

You think "Adult" is bad? In the past I had a boy named "Excellent" and twin boys named "Infant" and "Infinite".
How can I get in trouble, RobbO? I've never actually mentioned the place where I work. The Mecca of Education could be anywhere--try to find it in the phone book.

Oh I also knew a Ms. Tuey, who taught second grade in room 222.
There is an urban legend that there are two brothers with the first names Lemonjello and Oranjello.
I knew a Fairybelle Kennedy, and went to school with a Japanese girl called Yuminko Mishima, known as 'Yumi' (YOO-mee), but who had to continually correct a rather impish teacher who kept deliberately mis-pronouncing her name. She got very annoyed, and rightly so: "My name is NOT 'Yummy'!"
And there was a 19th century American Painter called Ignatz Gaugengiegel. (Gau-gen-gee-gull: all hard 'g's)
There was a very pretty 1940s actress named Cleatus Caldwell, who was in one known film, a musical called SUSIE STEPS OUT (1946).
Spontaneous McKnight
My sister worked with a nice man who had the name Doctor Robinson. I guess his family was giving him a heads up in life but he wasn't a doctor. Imagine Doctor Doctor Robinson?
At a music camp I went to, there was a teacher named Free At-Last.
My friend's doctor's name is Dick Weiner. Hah.
I LOVE this! it has made my day!
there is a kid in my school named Unique. and i knew a boy named Moosedot.
Not that funny, but I thought this was cute. I knew a girl named Imunique. She was a biotch!
This is not a joke-I read it in a newspaper (not a joke newspaper). A guy was so fed up from being teased all his life and being called "Pussyfag" that he obtained permission from a judge and legally changed his name to Phillip Pussyfag. I swear.

No swearing is allowed on these boards. Remember what happened to Corine.

Harry C Beaver.
I kid you not, this guy was really a gyno.
If in Heaven you don't excel, you can always party down in hell...
There's a local named Richard Bieter (and yes, it's pronounced THAT way, I've met him.)
Also a realtor named Dick Hammer.
